Tips for Pickign Medeco Biaxle locks

Postby AshokaTano » 14 Nov 2013 12:21

so I just purchased myself 4 medeco biaxle mortice locks, i decided the best thing to do would be to remove the sidebar and check out picking the pins one by one adding more stacks as i felt comfortable, turns out that part was pretty easy, so now im about to ass in the sidebar and begin with one pin stack and work my way up im just looking for tips for setting the sidebar correctly, what is the best method? should i use a slender pick and attempt to to rotate the pins individually, or after i finish setting them to the sheer line breaking out maybe a M or L rake or maybe even just a half diamond and and attempt to use the rake to set them? any tips would be appreciated

Just a tip on searching since I find forum searches lacking normally. If you want to search for something in these forums try using Google and after your search term add site:lockpicking101.com

Ex. how to best pick a Medeco BiAxial site:lockpicking101.com

It will search only the specified site for the terms of your choice. Also if you have multiple words in your search and are getting results not related to what you want try wrapping your search with quotes and google will search for that exact phrase.

Ex. how to best “pick a Medeco BiAxial” site:lockpicking101.com

Hope that helps some =)
